You should not expect your parents to pay you for helping around the house. That is something you should be doing anyway.

Jobs you can do for neighbors: Mowing lawns, walking pets, washing cars, and babysitting (if you are a responsible kid).

You may find it difficult to get a job at 14 because most jobs require you have skills. It does not hurt to ask. Try jobs that do not require a college education, such as fast food, grocery stores, shops, etc.

One way to build your skills is through volunteering. You will not get paid but you will learn valuable skills that will help you get a job someday. Maybe your parents will agree to compensate you for volunteering. They can consider it a donation to a good cause.

A great site is http://www.volunteermatch.org/

If you are adventurous, you can try running your own internet business by buying things at garage sales and selling them online at http://www.ebay.com . Research what things are selling for on ebay before purchasing. (Also, avoid buying stuff on ebay or you will spend more than you make.) I suggest you specialize in a few items: specific toys, books, etc. You are going to become an expect so pick a category that you really enjoy. (When you see a bargain you will know it!) Be certain to check the website daily to make certain your customers are happy. To make a profit you will need to calculate the costs: ebay fees, paypal fees, packaging materials, and postage.

Good luck!

some companies do offer jobs for 14 or 15 year olds. the only catch is you get alot of breaks and shorter hours because of labor laws. that is why companies that do offer those jobs hesitate offering younger people jobs because of the fact of labor laws you get more breaks, often less done and you get a shorter time to work.

the easiest job would be cutting lawns.

you could caddy, or if you do sports do what i did, sign up to ref, or umpire for that sport. its usually a really easy way to make alot of money, or someplace like mcdonalds or subway might hire so young.
but to get anything good i think youd need a job permit or something. you could go to the state office or some schools give them out
hope i helped!

It depends on what state you live in... here in California they have a program called "hire a youth". It places teens in summer positions until age 21. So you should call around or see your school guidance counselor to check out what is available in your town. Good luck. ^_^
